AFAIK, there are only security updates, although these are very good. Add the following lines to your sources list, and upgrade normally using apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade once in a while and you should be fine. deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free > 2.

You should always keep your potato up-to-date. The distribution is rock-solid and updates will only fix security issues, which should be fixed in any case. There is no new functionality provided, so the chance that a new bug actually comes in this way is rather small. Cheers, Viktor -- Viktor Rosenfeld WWW: http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~rosenfel/
